: I've heard cut up plastic jugs make good epoxy spreaders.

I'm the guy advocating plastic jugs cut into epoxy spreaders.

I find other squeegees too stiff and easily remove too much resin starving the glass.

You can't overpower the plastic jug squeegees, they will collapse, which is a good thing.

I also cut the plastic into filleting tool shapes, finger shapes, and small rectangles, and staple
them onto scrap strips to reach into corners and filleting bulkhead panels.

AND they're GOOD for you, because you have to drink milk or orange juice!

All the best,
Rob
